  • the operating system schedules the execution of the software such that after the secure software 180 operates for 100 milliseconds, other software operates for 100 milliseconds.
  • the reason why the initializing/loading section 160 works with the operating system is that to operate the secure software 180 as one of a plurality of tasks (i.e., programs) under the control of the operating system, the assistance of the operating system that coordinates various processes is necessary.
  • the driver 170 corresponds to normal driver software that operates under the control of the operating system.
  • Large-scale information (such as an encrypted MPEG stream) is transmitted and received between the secure module 150 and the secure software 180 (i.e., the input buffer 181) via the driver 170.
  • DMA direct memory access
  • the secure module 150 and the secure software 180 are not under the control of the operating system, and can exchange information between each other in the environment where the operating system has no concern. Therefore, there is a large merit that it is possible to obtain an increased level of security.
  • the reason why the encrypted MPEG stream is transmitted via the driver 170 in the present embodiment is as follows. As the MPEG stream is encrypted, it is considered that security is ensured even when the MPEG stream is stolen. Priority is placed on efficiently delivering the encrypted MPEG stream to the secure software 180 by utilizing the function of the driver 170.
  • the input buffer 181 is set in an area in the main memory 106, and stores the encrypted MPEG stream.
  • ATS decoder 182 reads the encrypted MPEG stream (more precisely, an MPEG-TS stream) from the buffer 181 at the request of a decoding section 184, and stores encrypted MPEG video information into a video buffer 183 after TS decoding the encrypted MPEG stream.
  • the TS decoding is a processing to extract compressed encrypted MPEG video information from the encrypted MPEG stream.
  • the encrypted MPEG stream includes, in a time-division multiplexed format, (1) encrypted MPEG video information, (2) encrypted MPEG audio information, and (3) broadcast information (such as a title of a program, an airtime, an outline of the program, a per-program fee, and the like) constructed of the encrypted MPEG video information and the encrypted MPEG audio information.
  • the TS decoder 182 always monitors the scale of the input buffer 181, and requests the secure software 180 to replenish the input buffer 181 when the capacity of the input buffer 181 drops below a specific level.
  • the video buffer 183 is set in an area in the main memory 106, and stores the encrypted MPEG video information.
  • This video buffer 183 corresponds to a VBV buffer determined in the MPEG video international standard.
  • the cipher decoding section 184 reads the encrypted MPEG video information from the video buffer 183 at the request of an MPEG video decoder 186, and decodes the encrypted MPEG video information until a small buffer 185 becomes full.
  • the cipher decoding section 184 stores the decoded compressed MPEG video information into the small buffer 185.
  • the small buffer 185 is set in an area in the main memory 106, and stores the compressed MPEG video information.
  • the MPEG video decoder 186 recognizes that the MPEG output section 188, at the later stage, has output the video information.
  • an MPEG video memory 187 has a free area corresponding to this information component. Therefore, the MPEG video decoder 186 reads the next piece of compressed MPEG video information from the small buffer 185, decompresses (i.e., decodes) this information, and stores the decompressed MPEG video information into the MPEG video memory 187.
  • the small buffer 185 is set to be able to store only a small quantity of compressed MPEG video information (i.e., less than one image). This setting is made in order to avoid storing the decoded compressed MPEG video information in the main memory 106, which is very risky from the viewpoint of security.
  • the small buffer 185 does not store the compressed MPEG video information of one image, and becomes "free" soon after the MPEG video decoder 186 has decoded the information.

  • the "peep” is the operation whereby, any other program operating at the same time (in time division) with the main program "peeps" into the data area in the secure software 180, and steals the information.
